Will Citadel Sell Modesto/Stockton Cluster To Mapleton?

M

Madmansam

Now that Citadel has announced the sale of their Spokane cluster to Mapleton Communications, Is Citadel's Modesto/Stockton cluster next? I have heard that Mapleton offered to buy KSTN AM/FM from the LaRue's but were turned down.With Citadel acquiring the ABC Stations, maybe Citadel will devest their smaller markets?

If the ABC deal was their way to become more of a larger market operator, it's possible. But Citadel/Modesto is a cash cow for the company, I believe a top 3 billing market for them. Citadel also claims about 65% of the market's radio dollars, the other 35% being split between Clear Channel, Entravision, Bustos, and the couple locals still left.
